Bakgrund: På grund av krig, förföljelser och kränkningar ökar flyktingströmmarna i världen. Antalet människor på flykt 2021 var 89,3 miljoner. Miljöförändringar som asylsökande och flyktingar upplever påverkar alla aspekter av deras dagliga liv och uppfattning om sig själva. Begränsade möjligheter till meningsfulla aktiviteter i mottagarlandet har en ytterligare negativ påverkan på hälsa och välbeBackground: Refugee flows worldwide are increasing due to war, persecutions and harassments. In 2021 the number of refugees globally reached 89,3 million. Environment changes influenced asylum seekers and refugees in all aspects of daily living and self-concepts. Limited opportunities to participate in meaningful activities in the host country had a further negative impact on health and well-being

It’s not unusual for young people these days to take and edit a selfie. With the rise of consumerist culture and the popularity of mobile Internet, nowadays selfie applications, including beauty cameras and photo-beautification applications, have become the most well-accepted products/brands among Chinese women, who have grown accustomed to showing only one exquisitely edited face in digital photo

Kaapvaal kratonen består av ett välbevarat fragment av arkeisk jordskorpa som utgör ett värdefullt objekt vid palaeokontinentala rekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien var att visualisera vulkaniska händelserna i kratonen genom tiden med hjälp av ArcGIS och tillgängliga geokronologiska data. Detta gjordes genom att skapa ett antal så kallade ’time slice’ kartor som representerar tidsperioderThe Kaapvaal Craton comprises a piece of well preserved Archaean crust making it a valuable subject in the pursuit of palaeocontinental reconstruction. The aim of this study was to visualize the volcanic events of the craton through time using arcGIS and available geochronological data. This was done by creating a number of so called ‘time slice’ maps that represent time periods from ca. 3 Ga to 1

This paper deals with questions of romanization of the Chinese language. It examines the history of phonetic Chinese transcription and writing systems, from the first occurrences of such systems in the 16th century to the present day. The paper’s main focus is on the two systems Gwoyeu Romatzyh and Latinxua Sinwenz which were in use from the 1920s to the 1940s and aimed at replacing Chinese chara

Föreliggande examensarbete i Medical Humanities har utförts för att pröva lyrikens möjligheter i medicinsk utbildning och fortbildning. Skönlitteratur används i utbildningen av läkare i Sverige men lyrik är en hittills outnyttjad resurs i detta sammanhang. Med hjälp av ett begränsat urval dikter, som har tolkats, visas att lyriken har möjligheter att förmedla en fördjupad förståelse av sjukdom ur The present thesis in Medical Humanities have been conducted to examine poetry opportunities in medical education and training. Literature is used in the training of doctors in Sweden, but poetry is a hitherto untapped resource in this context. A selection of poems have been interpreted. Limited number of examples shows that poetry has the potential to convey a deeper understanding of the disease

Rationale: Cerebrovascular diseases associated with pregnancy and postpartum period are uncommon; however, they can have an important impact on health of both women and foetus or newborn. Aims: To evaluate the frequency, characteristics and management of cerebrovascular events in pregnant/postpartum women, to clarify pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the occurrence of these events including

All the analytic methods for assessing the safety or comfort of bicyclists in urban area have as a common factor the number of bicycles that enter the system in a certain time interval or an estimate of that. The estimation of the average bicycle volume based on manual and automatic measurements is time-consuming and often require the use of expensive technology. The paper presents a method of est

The removal of micropollutants from municipal wastewater is challenged by the number of compounds with diverse physico-chemical properties. Ozonation is increasingly used to remove micropollutants from wastewater. However, ozonation does not necessarily result in complete mineralization of the organic micropollutants but rather transforms them into new compounds which could be persistent or have a

Spent sulfite liquor (SSL) is a byproduct of the sulfite pulping process of wood. SSL usually contains monosugars and lignosulfonates, which are fermented to produce ethanol and dried to generate lignosulfonate salts. However, the SSL that was used in this work was derived from the first step of a 2-step sulfite pulping process of softwood under mild pulping conditions in the first stage of cookin

Hymns to Unknown Heroines part III – Elna, 2015 Slide and sound installationHymns to Unknown Heroines, part III is the latest iteration of a multifaceted work. The starting point was an anonymous photographic archive from the 1920s that depicts a Scottish family over several years. Many of the photographs portray women engaged in recreational activities, portraying an undemanding lifestyle that ca

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of statistically planar flames at moderate and high Karlovitz number (Ka) have been used to perform an a priori evaluation of a presumed-PDF model approach for filtered reaction rate in the framework of large eddy simulation (LES) for different LES filter sizes. The model is statistical and uses a presumed shape, based here on a beta-distribution, for the sub-gri

Objective: To evaluate trends in bladder cancer incidence, survival and mortality in Sweden from 1997–2016. Patients and methods: The Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer is a nation-wide quality register that started in 1997. It includes information on initial tumor characteristics and treatment; 41,097 new cases were registered up to 2016. Patients were stratified into four time p

In this study we use a sample of about 9 million SkyMapper stars with metallicities to investigate the properties of the two stellar populations seen in the high-velocity (V T > 200 km s-1) Gaia DR2 Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Based on 10,000 red giant branch (RGB) stars (out of 75,000 with high velocity), we find that the two sequences have different metallicity distribution functions; one peaks

The similarity of in-situ and ex-situ absorption/extinction properties was found by comparing data sets obtained in premixed flat ethylene flames (C/O = 0.77); both ex-situ absorption measurements at CNR of Naples and in-situ laser extinction/absorption measurements at Lund University. The optical band gap analysis was performed as a method to separate/evaluate the contributions to the UV–Visible

Genomic sequencing of avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemosporida) has been challenging due to excessive contamination from host DNA. In this study, we developed a cost-effective protocol to obtain parasite sequences from naturally infected birds, based on targeted sequence capture and next generation sequencing. With the genomic data of Haemoproteus tartakovskyi as a reference, we successfully s

Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with largely unknown etiology. Rare copy number variants (CNVs) have been implicated in the genetic architecture of other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which have led to clinical genetic testing recommendations for these disorders; however, the evidence is still lacking for DLD. We analyzed rare and de novo CNVs i

European Spallation Source (ESS) will deliver neutrons at high flux for use in diverse neutron scattering techniques. The neutron source facility and the scientific instruments will be located in Lund, and the Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC), in Copenhagen. A number of detector prototypes are being developed at ESS together with its European in-kind partners, for example: SoNDe, Multi-G

The continuously growing number of products containing nanoparticles (NPs) makes their presence in the environment inevitable, and given the well-known toxicity of dissolved metals, concerns regarding the toxicity of metal-based NPs have been raised. Whether metal-based NPs present similar or different toxicological effects compared with metal salts is an emerging field. In the present study, rain

AIMS: Some 15% of the Swedish population is born outside Sweden, originating from all continents of the world. Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia constitute the most common inherited recessive disorders globally and they are endemic in areas of Africa and Asia, origins of many immigrants to Sweden. We aimed at investigating the origins of the Swedish sickle cell and thalassemia patients.METHODS: P
